What kind of conversations are you having when it’s time for you to go to sleep?

I’m not talking about the conversations you have with another person; I’m referring to the ones that you’re having with yourself.

You might not be aware that you’re having a conversation with yourself, because the words and thoughts masquerade as thoughts. But what else are thoughts, if not conversations with yourself?

So, if you’re going to have a conversation with yourself right before you go to sleep, be intentional about it. It’s been said that how you speak to and feel about yourself when you’re alone and in your quietest moments is just as important, if not more so than how you speak and feel about other people.

There’s rarely a better opportunity than right before you close your eyes and drift off to sleep to have a kind and loving conversation with yourself. To remind yourself how important you are and to express gratitude for your own life.

Now I know that this might sound a little ‘hokey’ at first, but what do you have to lose? Instead of going to sleep taking inventory of the day’s events, or thinking about what you must do tomorrow, spend a few minutes being kind to yourself. Learn to love and feel good about yourself.

Oh, and one last thing. Once you get in the habit of having kind conversations with yourself at night, try to implement the same habit for the first few minutes of your morning. There’s probably no better way to start your day than reminding yourself just how loved you are.
